[Verse 1:]
F#
Your grace is still a mystery
G#
That you would save a wretch like me
F# C#
No love goes deeper
F# G#
No song sounds sweeter
F#
And we confess our wandering eyes
G#
Have turned to sin a thousand times
F# C#
We sing together
F# G#
Your love tastes better
[Pre-Chorus 1:]
A#m G#
Your death, our bread and wine
F# C#
Your word, our life divine
A#m G# F#
So when you’re not the center of our minds
G#
Take us back
[Chorus:]
C# G#
We will cling to the cross despised and rugged
C# G#
We will stare at the name inscribed above it
A#m
This is Christ the king of the Jews
F#
He’s the one, who sinners call beloved
C# G#
Then we run to the tomb where sin was laid
C# G#
Where the stone on our heart was rolled away
G#
Oh the blessed joy that meets us here
F# C#
When we see the savior’s face
D#m
Once again we stand amazed
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2:]
C#
And when the world tempts us to fall
G#
And tells us you’re not worth it all
F# C#
We might be shaken
F# G#
But we’re not forsaken
C#
And when the sorrows like pillars roll
G#
And drown the music in our souls
F# C#
What hope relieves us?
F# G#
To see you Jesus
[Pre-Chorus 2:]
A#m G#
Your hands that heal the blind
F# C#
That placed the stars in line
A#m G# F#
Are reaching out into this heart of mine
A#m G#
Your voice that calmed the sea
F# C#
Oh, that told the world to be
A#m G# F#
Is whispering a peace inside of me
G#
It takes me back
[Chorus:]
C# G#
We will cling to the cross despised and rugged
C# G#
We will stare at the name inscribed above it
A#m
This is Christ the king of the Jews
F#
He’s the one, who sinners call beloved
C# G#
Then we run to the tomb where sin was laid
C# G#
Where the stone on our heart was rolled away
G#
Oh the blessed joy that meets us here
F# C#
When we see the savior’s face
D#m
Once again we stand amazed
[Bridge:]
C# G#
Amazing grace
A#m F#
You saved our wretched souls
C# G#
Upon these broken instruments
A#m F#
You wrote a song that won’t grow old
C# G#
And amazing love
A#m F#
You set our hearts in tune
C# G# A#m/F#
And so we sing only for you
[x3]
[Pre-Chorus 3:]
A#m G#
Your blood has paid the debt
F# C#
Your life has conquered death
A#m G# F#
So when we feel enslaved to our regret
A#m G#
Your blood has paid the debt
F# C#
Oh, your life has conquered death
A#m G# F#
So when the devil tempts us to forget
C#
Would you take us back?
[Chorus:]
C# G#
We will cling to the cross despised and rugged
C# G#
We will stare at the name inscribed above it
A#m
This is Christ the king of the Jews
F#
He’s the one, who sinners call beloved
C# G#
Then we run to the tomb where sin was laid
C# G#
Where the stone on our heart was rolled away
G#
Oh the blessed joy that meets us here
F# C#
When we see the savior’s face
D#m
Once again we stand amazed
